1267. baruth
Berean Strong's Lexicon
baruth: Purity, choice, cleanness

Original Word: בָּרוּת
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: baruth
Pronunciation: bah-ROOTH
Phonetic Spelling: (baw-rooth,)
Definition: Purity, choice, cleanness
Meaning: food

Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרָא (bara), meaning "to create" or "to choose."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament is καθαρότης (katharotes), Strong's Greek #2510, which also means purity or cleanness.

Usage: The term "baruth" is used to denote a state of purity or cleanness, often in a moral or ceremonial sense. It can also imply something that is choice or select, indicating a high standard or quality.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, purity was a significant concept, both in terms of physical cleanliness and spiritual holiness. The Israelites were given laws concerning purity to maintain their covenant relationship with God. This included dietary laws, rituals for cleansing, and moral codes. The idea of being "choice" or "select" also ties into the concept of being set apart for a special purpose, much like the nation of Israel itself.
